To the Wad Family. Jaunita was the nicest sweetest lady I knew in Leflore. She always was kind and had a smile. Im sue she will be very much missed by her family. she also raised some of the nicest childen I know. She is in her eternal home with all her family now awaiting the rest of us. We trust God to comfort the family left and still with us. We pray for all of you to keep you heads up, trusting God and moving on. Blessings to all of you and comfort that God alone can bring.
